Photomicrographs of H&E-, PAS-, and TNFR2-stained sections of developing kidney at E18. The control of developing kidney at E18 of gestation showed glomerulus (G), and tubules (T) (a). The kidney tubules showed positive carbohydrates (PAS reaction) (b) and TNFR2 expression (c). GA3-treated embryos revealed kidney of pale-staining, tubule degeneration, shrinkage of renal corpuscles (arrow, d), decrease stainability of carbohydrates (e) and TNFR2 localization (f). Olive oil-treated embryo showed similar kidney structure such that observed in the control but an increase in the expression of TNFR2 was noted (g–i). The kidney in the GA3-olive oil-treated embryos revealed improvement in the alterations that induced by GA3 (j–l). Scale bar (a–l) = 10 μm
